Unfortunately, this is not a project in FCP. The source is a final master on tape, we need to log instances of text in program and I was hoping there was a way to do this in FCP, or by other means, that works in sort of the same way as scene detection.

Depends on how you define “trouble” – I personally have been having trouble, as in the option is not there.

First, let me state that I am fully aware that running FCP 7 on a PPC is unsupported.

That being said, I AM running it on a PPC with very few problems. The only thing I have noticed is that I am missing BluRay from the “Share” menu list. I have all the other options (AppleTV, DVD, etc…). I am not sure if this is a side-effect of running it on a PPC or if this is an install issue.

Is anyone else running this on a PPC able to verify the presence or absence of the SHARE → BluRay option?

I would love to update to a newer Intel Mac, but that is not an option at this time, so I “make the best of what’s still around.”

Thanks,

Tim

Zane, while I can appreciate your persistence and insistence that FCP 7 not be run on a PPC, please let those of us whose goal is to try to use it in that way have our discussion. Your opposition has been noted again and again and again and again…

Bottom line, if FCP 7 absolutely can NOT run on a PPC, we will soon come to that same conclusion on our own without you berating us.

If it is possible to run on a PPC, as seems to be the case based on other people’s experiences, then your berating us serves no purpose as it will not stop us from trying.

That is what my research is seeming to indicate… I was hoping there was some other option…

I figured it out… The X/Y position is not labeled as such on my controls page, it is just called “Origin”, here is what mine looked like:

I adjusted the second value, which would be the Y value and it worked.

Thanks for all your help.

[Timothy Habrock]

I don’t have anythign labeled “y” value under controls.

I have the Text box, then “Font”, “Size”, “Style”, “Alignment -> Center, Left, Right”, “Font Color”, “Origin”, “Tracking”, “Leading”, “Aspect”, “Auto Kerning” and “Use Subpixel”.
